Now now now...don't get me WRONG... there is NOTHING the matter with the Highlander as it stands. In my humble opinion that film has ONE home and that's the 80's...the cheesey, over the top, Queen is the soundtrack, 80's. But if you're me and my mister, you can't watch the movie without wondering... could you make this today?
Not too far back I heard an absurd rumor that "They" were looking at Ryan Reynolds to rehash the Christopher Lambert role...I'm BREATHING okay, I like me some Ryan Reynolds, but as The Highlander?! Can I be a little cheesey myself here for a second and say, "There can be only one..."
However, that doesn't mean that a discussion didn't get had, and a list didn't get made... so I present you with Dream Casting: Highlander Edition.
Connor MacLeod: Paul Bettany
Roxanne Hart: Olivia Wilde
The Kurgan: Tom Hardy (or Manu Bennett)
Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez: Liam Neeson
Heather MacLeod: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
...and so on and so forth... and now you want to watch that don't you?
